You guys have to admit it does look better than what they have now.

that was like 3 steps back. 2010 was 2 steps back. 2011 is about 1 step back.

I hadn't read about it or seen it, and just did. I totally agree.

They also removed HID, and single disc player instead of the 6. Glad they are even doing a special edition at all. I applaud subaru, they are really taking a risk. Also you can't complain about the price either, $2K cheaper than the STI. Usually when you get a lighter model you pay more.

How is 2010 a step up from 09?? They didn't change anything from 09 to 10 on the WRX....and the only thing they changed on the STI was the interior color and some red stitching on the steering wheel and shit.

I agree. Nothing special about it but the wheels. It isn't numbered or anything. All they did was remove the HID's and change the stereo/HVAC and slapped a somewhat cheaper price on it and called it "special edition"...oooo. I'll pay the extra $2K.

i think i got it mistaken for the 08 to 09 change. different turbo, suspension, grill, etc.
